Organic petrology: Macumba 1 and Poolowanna 1 wells through the Eromanga, Simpson Desert and Pedirka Basins.
The dispersed organic matter content of drill cuttings samples from the subject wells was examined microscopically to assess its hydrocarbon potential. In general it appears that the Cretaceous and Permian sediments are unlikely to be good source...-

Source rock analysis of samples from Erabena 1, Simpson Desert region, SA.
Mature potential source rocks occur in the Juraasic Poolowanna Formation and the Triassic Peera Peera Formation. The lower Poolowanna interval has a greater source potential than does the upper Poolowanna. Marginally mature potential source rocks...-
